1. Umass Worcester fall 2018 GEP

   NPToBe527 replied to kevinm23's topic in School Programs

   Hey Alexandra441, Great question! So if I remember correctly (orientation feels like lifetimes ago), you should have an email address set up even before orientation. They'll send you an email with steps to set that up. On the actual day, you'll get t...

   Hi reirogue, Just as an FYI, the program is 4 years and unfortunately can't be done any faster. However, tuition for the entire 4 years is about 132k, with the first year being a huge chunk of that. If you're looking to take out loans for living expe...

   Hi Kevinm23, Unfortunately there's no way to do the program faster than 4 years, since it is a doctorate program. We go through summers already and take about 20 credits each semester, so there's really no room for more acceleration!

   Hi kevinm23, There are two ways to apply for financial aid: 1. Apply for loans only, and submit only your financial information 2. Apply for loans AND scholarships/grants, and submit your financial information as well as your parents' (in excruciatin...

   NPToBe527 replied to kevinm23's topic in School Programs

   We did get a good amount of time to meet each other and instructors, but only as much as one day will allow! If you don't feel like you know your classmates after orientation, you DEFINITELY will after GEP prep (a two week intensive at the beginning ...

11. Nurse Corps Scholarship 2017-2018

    NPToBe527 replied to Zeemud's topic in School Programs

    Is anyone else practically refreshing Credit Karma to look for an inquiry?! I'm pretty sure that's not how it works, but anything helps! Then again in last year's forum some people never even saw a credit check but still were offered the scholarship...

    Becky, I can't say how helpful it is for you to answer these questions! Thanks so much. I'm mostly wondering what your weekly schedule has looked like in the first year. I'm guessing it varies slightly, but can you give kind of a sense of how it's or...

    I'm not a current student of the program, though I am a current student of Simmons (finishing my undergrad in nutrition this May). So I've taken my fair share of classes in the School of Nursing and Health Sciences and I know how Simmons works as a s...

    My letter asked me to respond by March 10! I know that I'll be rescinding my offer because I've already committed to another school, but I was accepted to the Pedi program so I'm not sure my revocation will help you! Best of luck to you, and continue...
